Deformation of EPS Foam Under Combined Compression-Shear Loading: Experimental and Computational Analysis

Expanded Polystyrene (EPS) foam material is widely used as an energy absorption engineering material. Its compression behaviour, both quasi-statically and dynamically, has been studied widely. However, its mechanical behaviour under combined compression-shear loading is poorly understood due to the...
